Celebrities Who Have Opened Up About Their Struggles With Mental Illness

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez revealed her bipolar diagnosis during a conversation with Miley Cyrus in April 2020. "Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals in America, McLean Hospital, and I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar," Gomez said on Cyrus' talk show "Bright Minded." Gomez said that getting her diagnosis and learning more about it helped to remove the fear she had, especially coming from Texas, where it's "not known to talk about your mental health." The singer previously spoke about the benefits of therapy during an interview for a podcast called "Dream It Real." "I go to therapy," she said. "It's just one of the most important things — to get to know yourself. Not saying everyone in the world has to do it, but I do think that it's helped me understand myself and my childhood a lot better."
